Wheat Grass - Natures Miracle

What is Wheat Grass? It is a grass grown from whole wheat seeds, and is harvested when the shoots reach about six inches high. These tender, green shoots may be chewed or juiced in a Wheat Grass Juicier.

Why Chew or Drink Wheat Grass? because it is a body cleanser, rebuilder and neutralizer of toxins caused by pollution, processed foods, and other aspects of our toxic lifestyles, including radiation generated by our computers.

Wheat Grass, either chewed or juiced, is a complete food. Eggs are not a complete food. Neither are carrots, apples or meat. Even combining these foods will not give you the vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll you receive from Wheat Grass juice.

Researchers report that every known vitamin has been segregated from Wheat Grass in amounts and qualities best suited for use in the human body and animals. Fifteen pounds of wheat grass is equivalent in nutritional value to 350 pounds of the choicest vegetables.

Wheat grass contains seventy percent crude chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is concentrated sun power; is non-toxic in any amount and is an all-around food, beneficial for tissue repair and building. Chlorophyll also has properties that break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen, which inhibits the growth and reduces the action of anaerobic bacteria.

The chlorophyll molecule bears a close resemblance to hemoglobin. The difference is that the central element in blood is iron rather than magnesium, which is the central element in chlorophyll. Owing to this close molecular resemblance, it is believed that chlorophyll is the natural blood building element for all plant eaters and humans.

Chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic which, considering its stimulating properties cannot be compared with any other.

There is nothing that stimulates the formation of red blood cells better than chlorophyll rich drinks like wheat grass. Wheat Grass juice is great for blood disorders of all kinds, including anemia. it also enhances the capillaries and it will help build a clean bloodstream and aid in proper digestion.

Wheat Grass energizes the body, helps build up the blood, cleanses away toxins, provides an abundance of nutrients and even helps with weight control.

Wheat Grass implants (enemas) are great for healing and detoxifying the colon walls. The implants also heal and cleanse the internal organs.

The many detergent factors of wheat grass juice will drain the lymph system which carries away many toxins from all body cells.

In August, 1995, the Associated Press reported that Nigel Packham, a British chemist took part in a NASA experiment in which he spent fifteen days in a one hundred square foot scaled chamber, relying on 30,000 wheat plants for oxygen. In turn Packham provided the carbon dioxide needed by the plants. The plants provided so much oxygen that some of it had to be pumped out. Packham felt great after the experiment.
